Review of Hurghada’s $40 speedboat tour with dolphin watching, Red Sea snorkeling, island time, lunch, and optional parasailing.
“Everything was great! It went smoothly as well! We booked just one hour before pickup, and it still worked out perfectly – respect to the organization for that! Amazing captains, amazing guide. They were respectful of the animals. We were able to observe the dolphins from the boat, and later we went snorkeling without disturbing them in their natural habitat. And simply a beautiful view! They also made sure everyone on board was well taken care of! There were food, drinks, and snacks available for everyone. There was also a full set of snorkeling equipment available. Even those who were unsure or uncomfortable in the water were given a life…”
Review of Lanzarote’s 1.5-hour dolphin boat tour from Puerto del Carmen, with wildlife watching, coastal views, and an Atlantic swim.
“This tour exceeded expectations! They went above and beyond looking for dolphins and we got super lucky and managed to see quite a few. Very lovely lads who run the tour - super accommodating and let us sit at the back on a makeshift seat as our seats we originally had weren’t very good as the boats wall was obstructing the view. Recommend 100%! Swimming, dolphins and a lovely boat with a lovely team! P.s they also were playing sea shanty’s which was quite amusing”

Review of Mauritius dolphin swimming and whale watching by speedboat, with snorkeling, wildlife ethics, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“Good ethical company. We were lucky and managed to see both the whales and dolphins today. Other boats were allowing people to jump in the water whilst the whale was present and it would then disappear. It was clear it didn’t want to be disturbed. The dolphins didn’t appear to mind that everyone was swimming amongst them. It did get too busy with all the other boats but overall a great experience”

Swim with dolphins, snorkel at Crystal Rock, enjoy a BBQ on Île aux Bénitiers, and ride a speedboat from Flic en Flac for $74.
“A great trip for us as a couple. Good mix of people on the trip, guides catered for all. Boat was comfortable and super fast. Guides were well informed and knowledgeable, and nice local people. The dolphin experience was a little hectic mainly due to other companies jostling for space! Hardly a surprise that the pod we saw kept diving deep for some cover. Nevertheless, awesome being up close and seeing them even if for a brief encounter. The snorkelling spots were ace, crystal clear waters and huge variety of fish to see. I even spotted a sea snake. Lunch on the island was great, a pleasant surprise a glass…”
